Thank you all for the feedback

Framework - I actually had discussed that briefly with Beth the other day but it was more as a 'sure fire way to end up with the longest fic ever' thing

. That said, I have considered it seriously and I think that Lucy in particular would get lost. Chapters would go by without her [or Jimmy] making an appearance. LS looks to be about 1/3 as long as LtL. Especially as we move on here, I really like this Lucy and Jimmy and have enjoyed getting to know them and wouldn't want them to get overshadowed by Lois and Clark's story. I do hope that the dates at least help a bit.
JD - it's kind of like saying the Sahara is as wet as ever

. Technically accurate but misleading to anyone who doesn't know the Sahara is a desert.
Nan, TINS - thank you for the feedback

Look for 7 in the next little bit.
